Don't hard fail over missing classfiles.

There's no need to blow up when a classfile references other
classes which aren't present.  We can struggle onward and maybe
it'll turn out they had no intention of trying to get at the
class that isn't there.  I have all kinds of confidence scala
will find a way to fail when the time comes.  Closes SI-5343.
